Swift SUCKS

Why?
Because of its absolutely useless complexity...
a total simple thing: i have a string and want to concat a integer with it, so:
var x = stringVar + intVar; right? NO
its var x = stringVar + String(intVar);
or getting the index of a element in a array?
var index = array.indexOf(element); thats logic, right??? Not for swift, gotta go with: var index = array.index(of: element); WTF??!!
And all the other shit: nil instead of null, int++? Nope.
And there are SO MANY MORE things, where u just think, Apple really though different........than all normal coding languages.......

I´ll honestly rather learn C and recode Ios or have a look at objective-c...

undefined

    I don't use Python, but I know you have to use string(non-string) too (and it's the most used language).
    Btw Kotlin ftw

    I think the first example is not good. Sometimes strange things happen if you concatenate different types. So to ensure you have the same data types is good IMO.

    Search "Coercion Javascript" and you will understand some things about data types.

    But yeah. Swift really sucks.

    I signed up just to post this comment.

    Attached is a snippet from an iOS development course I'm doing. null safe my a$$; it like someone ejaculated exclamation marks all over my code.

    @socialguy this code is full of assumptions. Swift is supposed to allow you to make it both safe and elegant but it looks like the author failed at both.
